We, the People
by MARKS LANE
\Jn a cold October night five thou-
sand people gathered at Jamieson
Stadium to participate in the first
Homecoming game in the ninety-one-
year history of this school. As we
stood to hear the national anthem
our attention was focused on one
idea: We, the People of the Universi-
ty of North Carolina at Greensboro,
are wholly responsible for restoring,
establishing, and preserving tradi-
tion. In doing so we build a lasting
pride which ensures future students
and administrations of a heritage rich
in American collegiate spirit.
UNC-G stands at the brink of a
new era in the beginning of its
ninety-second year. Nineteen hun-
dred eighty-two saw the birth of a
greater American collegiate spirit
than the campus had seen since the
days of World War II. In those days
the campus of only women students
remained at home while young men
defended our country abroad. The
spirit and patriotism were a result of
a war. Today the campus boasts an
enrollment nearing eleven thousand
with young women and men having
an increased awareness of the impor-
tance of national security and peace
with other world powers. Students
have a greater appreciation of the
peace and freedom our leaders are
working to preserve.
It is impossible to ignore the
heritage handed down to us today at
UNC-G. Women students gave this
institution seventy-three years of
heart, spirit, self-discipline, and
academic achievement. They
established traditions long since past
but not forgotten. Their contribu-
tions are immeasurable as well as
their spirit and devotion.
The blazer tradition distinguished
classes of women for years. In their
sophomore years they were assigned
blazers of the color designated their
class. This tradition sprang from the
idea of assigning a particular color to
each class beginning in 1893. The
first designated color was red. This
color was followed by green for the
next class, blue the next, and then
lavender. The colors remain today
but the blazers are hanging in the
closets of alumnae. The class of 1983
had the distinction of being
designated red.
Gone also are the traditions of the
May Queen, May Day, and chapel. As
a celebration of spring. May Day was
a gala event including the winding of
the maypole, a ball held in the even-
ing, and, in earlier years, a
Shakespearean production. Most of
the festivities were held in the am-
phitheater on the golf course which
has since disappeared. The event was
also a celebration of beauty
highlighted by the May Queen and
her court, elected by the student
body. Such pageantry had been left
to the past until the crowning of the
first homecoming queen in the
school's history last fall.
Chapel was the time when the
university sat down together. At noon
on Tuesday the student body
assembled in Aycock Auditorium and
sat according to class. Freshmen sat
at the back; seniors sat nearest the
stage. The programs weren't always
religious but always included con-
gregational singing — one way in
which unity and school spirit were
maintained. Although it is not possi-
ble to assemble the student body of
today under one roof on campus, it is
widely hoped that a large majority of
students, faculty, and administration
will unite with alumni through the
coming years at homecoming.
The ever-changing identity of the
school has brought about the birth
and death of traditions at UNC-G.
Not all changes are warmly welcomed
and recognized as progressive but
over time are best for the school.
First there was the change from
Woman's College to a coeducational
university in 1964. UNC-G moved
another step closer to the school we
attend today with the addition of
male students.
In 1979 the campus moved forward
with the start of the Greek-letter
social system. Most students ignored
this change in the school's character
but those who supported it and par-
ticipated in its growth and success
received their reward. Even those
who chose not to participate
acknowledged the need for social
structure and were pleased to see this
system growing.
The rise of the athletic program at
UNC-G has captured national atten-
tion. Winning national champion-
ships is not uncommon for the soccer
team and ladies' basketball is con-
sistently at the top of national
rankings.
From May Queen to homecoming
queen, from handicapped student to
Ail-American athlete, from fraternity
president to freshman seeking to
become actively involved, the in-
dividual makes the difference at
UNC-G. There is greater potential
for the individual to become a leader
here than in many universities. When
the individual recognizes his rights
and freedoms and begins exercising
them responsibly he begins to
understand and appreciate the
American collegiate experience more
fully. The collegiate experience is
what the individual makes it. This
book is dedicated to the recording
and preservation of life at UNC-G in
1983 and pays tribute to the in-
dividuals who made the most of their
experiences.
We, the People of the University of
North Carolina at Greensboro,
observe our heritage in greater ap-
preciation of the past and work to en-
sure future classes, faculty, and ad-
ministration of a greater tomorrow.

1> ot in the ninety-one-year
history of this school has there been
an event to compare with the
magnitude and celebration UNC-G's
first Homecoming. For a university
sadly lacking in traditions around
which students can rally, the advent
of Homecoming was indeed a
blessing.
It was the unanimous opinion of
the five thousand Spartan fans
gathered at Jamieson Stadium that
this was the breath needed to
resuscitate the fainting spirit of
UNC-G. Since the addition of men to
the campus in 1964 the changes they
have made are vital to the rise of col-
legiate spirit. This was never as evi-
dent as on the night of October 28,
1982. Thanks to seventeen young
men and their coaches, UNC-G
celebrated its first Homecoming
game and festivities.
In view of the wildly enthusiastic
response from the crowds it it may
seem unbelievable that there had
been stiff opposition to the proposed
idea of electing a homecoming queen.
The purpose of the event was to
foster spirit and encourage unity of
students, faculty, and administration
traditional to so many universities.
Whereas it took an individual to try
defeating the proposal, another in-
dividual led the fight to create and
establish the badly needed tradition.
Early in October Student Senate
passed a resolution condemning the
selection of a homecoming queen
calling the event discriminatory and
debasing. The resolution, co-
authored by the Student Govern-
ment Vice President and a senator,
stated that the university and its stu-
The Birth,
Breath, and
Blessing
of Homecoming
by MARKS LANE
dent orgnizations had a policy of
non-discrimination based on dif-
ferences such as sex and race. The
authors felt the election was
therefore demeaning to any woman
involved because it placed emphasis
on physical characteristics. Further-
more, they insisted the election
would be detrimental to race rela-
tions at UNC-G.
The voice of the majority, Randy
McGuire, defended the objectives of
the contest. As Vice President of
EUC Council and coordinator of the
contest, he made it clear that the
desire of the Council was to ensure
equal representation for all student
organizations. McQuire maintained
that the nomination process had
covered all organizations without
regard to race and as democratically
as possible.
McGuire nobly continued with his
plans for the contest despite the
resolutions and ramifications. He and
the Council held the view that the
students were desperately searching
for something around which to rally.
Undoubtedly, a homecoming queen
crowned at the soccer match against
Notre Dame would appeal to the
masses and ensure a renewed interest
in the rise of tradition at UNC-G.
And rally they did! An hour before
the start of the soccer match the
crowds flowed into the stadium. The
turnout and show of support was
unequaled by any event in the
school's History. At 7 p.m. six
finalists in the homecoming queen
contest were escorted onto the field.
Each contestant had the distinction
of being a member of the first
homecoming court at UNC-G.
At 7:05 the crowd roared as the
crown was placed on the head of one
of the most delightful and
distinguished personalities in recent
UNC-G memories. Elizabeth "Skoal"
Ford, representing Tau Kappa Ep-
silon fraternity, captured the
limelight as the first homecoming
queen in the school's ninety-one-year
history. Escorted by TKE Joey
Katzenstein, she represented a
triumph for the EUC Council and a
milestone in the development and
preservation of true American col-
legiate tradition.
At 7:30 all attention was focused on
the Spartans as they took control of
the ball and continued to possess it
most of the first half. They fired shot
after shot to succeed only with a
penalty kick. A very grueling second
half brought only one goal for the
Irish and excitement soared as
regulation time ended with a tie.
Even a double overtime did not affect
the Spartans' performance. The Irish
proved their luck in an eventual vic-
tory: the Spartans proved their
strength.
In a year when blessings were
counted slowly and traditions saw
slow, sometimes unstable beginnings,
we must not fail to acknowledge the
true gift which was given our school.
Though we lost the game, we won a
tradition to be shared by future
students, faculty, and ad.^inistra-
tion. We can be proud that wt par-
ticipated in the birth, breath, and
blessing of Homecoming.

From Mclver to
Moran
by DOROTHY F. CLARK
J. he University of North CaroHna
at Greensboro was established by
legislative enactment on February 18,
1891, and opened on October 5, 1892
with a student body of 22.3 and a
faculty of 15. The City of Greensboro,
situated near the geographical center
of the state, was selected for the loca-
tion of the new institution. Its
citizens voted bonds to the sum of
$30,000 for the erection of the first
buildings, and the original ten-acre
site was given by R.S. Pullen and
R.T. Gray.
The University was known first as
the State Normal and Industrial Col-
lege (1892-1919), later as the North
Carolina College for Women (1919-
19311, and as the Woman's College of
the University of North Carolina
(1932-1963). It came into being as a
direct result of a crusade made by
Charles Duncan Mclver in behalf of
the education of women.
Other pioneers in public school
education — notably, Charles B.
Aycock, Edwin A. Alderman, and
James Y. Joyner — came to Dr.
Mclver's assistance; but to him, more
than any other individual, the
University owes its foundation.
During the years 1932-1963, the
University known as the Woman's
College of the University of North
Carolina was one of the three bran-
ches of the consolidated University of
North Carolina. In 1962, the Board of
Trustees recommended that the
Greensboro campus become coeduca-
tional in the fall of 1964. By act of the
General Assembly in the spring of
1963, the name of the institution was
changed to the University of North
Carolina at Greensboro.
The crusader for founding the in-
stitution, Charles Duncan Mclver,
served as its first president. In 1906,
following the death of Dr. Mclver,
Dr. Julius I. Foust became president
and served until 1934 when he retired
from active service. In 1934, Dr.
Walter Clinton Jackson, who had
served as teacher and vice president,
was elected head of the institution
with the title of Dean of Administra-
tion. By act of the Board of Trustees
in 1945, the title of the head of the in-
stitution was changed to Chancellor.
Dr. Jackson, who retired in 19.50,
was succeeded by Dr. Edward Kidder
Graham. After Dr. Graham's resigna-
tion in 1956, Dr. W. W. Pierson, Jr.,
served as Acting Chancellor until Ju-
ly 1, 1957, when Dr. Gordon W.
Blackwell became Chancellor. Dr.
Pierson returned to serve again as
Acting Chancellor in September,
1960, after the resignation of Dr.
Blackwell. Dr. Otis Singletary
became Chancellor July 1, 1961. Dur-
ing the period of November, 1964, to
February, 1966 while Dr. Singletary
was on leave of absence. Dr. James S.
Ferguson served as Acting Chancellor
until his resignation on November 1,
1966. Dr. Ferguson again served as
Acting Chancellor and was appointed
Chancellor on January 9, 1967. Dr.
Ferguson served until his retirement
to return to teaching in the summer
of 1979, when Dr. William E. Moran
became Chancellor.
The University of North Carolina
at Greensboro entered a new era
when it became a coeducational
university in the fall of 1964. It
assumed a greater role as a part of the
public education system of the State
of North Carolina. As a state institu-
tion it desires to be of the greatest
possible service to the people of
North Carolina, and its advantages
are open to all on similar terms
without regard to race, color, or na-
tional origin.
During its first seven decades, the
institution's mission was to prepare
women, primarily undergraduates,
for the most effective living of that
day. Today the goal — effective liv-
ing — remains the same but its scope
has been greatly expanded.
UNC-G now offers men and
women over 150 graduate and
undergraduate programs. It provides
opportunities to apply classroom
learning to real-life situations
through internships and practicums.
It also offers students the chance to
tailor-make their own programs of
study based on individual needs and
goals.
Although contemporary in its
educational program, UNC-G is also
realistic. In its effort to prepare
graduates for effective living, it has
built into its program the flexibility
needed to meet the rapidly changing
needs of society. UNC-G, therefore,
will remain a university in transition,
not satisfied with yesterday or today,
but always looking toward tomorrow.

Greek Tradition
Grows
by DANNY DANIEL
i\s early as February, 1974, the
Chancellor of UNC-G, James S.
Ferguson, recognized the desire of a
small minority of students to form
social fraternities and sororities at
UNC-G and took actions in that
direction. Students interest in clari-
fying the university policy concerning
Greek-letter organizations prompted
Chancellor Ferguson to appoint a
committee to advise him on two basic
questions; (1) "Should the university
adopt a policy recognizing frater-
nities and sororities?, and (2) Can
such organizations meet the needs of
various students and contribute to
the welfare of the university
community?"
The committee on fraternities and
sororities met for ten months to
discuss the various aspects of these
questions. The committee talked
with students interested in these
groups and met with administrators
from other schools where Greek-
letter groups were active. The com-
mittee also prepared a survey to try
to discover the feelings of the student
body towards Greek organizations. In
the fall of 1974 the committee chose
not to recommend the recognition of
such organizations. Lack of support
from the students was cited as the
chief reason as well as a lack of quali-
ty supervision by the administration
and faculty.
In the spring of 1977 Vice
Chancellor James Allen appointed an
Ad Hoc committee on fraternities
and sororities to once again examine
the question of establishing the
Greek system at UNC-G. This com-
mittee took into consideration
changes which had taken place on
campus and priority consideration
was given to the current requests by
students and other organizational
activities. The Student Government
held open hearings to debate the
merits of university recognition of
fraternities and sororities. A resolu-
tion was forwarded to the chancellor
on September 20 calling for the
Board of Trustees of UNC-G to allow
the establishment of social frater-
nities and sororities on campus.
A student petition calling for the
university to recognize Greek-letter
social organizations was signed by
1176 students and presented to Stu-
dent Government.
A committee report submitted to
Vice Chancellor Allen on December
18, 1978, recommended the recogni-
tion of fraternities and sororities on
campus for a trial period of five years.
A second Ad Hoc Committee was
formed in March of 1979. This com-
mittee presented Chancellor William
E. Moran with a set of conclusions
and guidelines to direct the establish-
ment of fraternities and sororities.
These guidelines included policies on
housing, academic requirements,
membership, and hazing. The report
called for the formation of a screen-
ing and review committee to screen
the recognition to be given any such
organization. Once in place the com-
mittee would be expected to provide
an annual review and evaluation of
existing fraternities and sororities.
About the time that the second Ad
Hoc committee was busy with its
task, Sigma Tau Gamma, a national
fraternity, was asked to form a colony
at UNC-G by several students who
were based in Hinshaw Dormitory.
Sigma Tau Gamma granted colony
status to this group and petitioned
the university for official recognition.
The university denied them recogni-
tion saying it was not prepared for
colonization by fraternities or
sororities. The members of Sigma
Tau Gamma decided, however, to
continue to function as a Greensboro
colony and held numerous social and
rush events. Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity
also petitioned the university for
recognition in 1979 and were turned
down. Like Sigma Tau Gamma, they,
too, continued to function as an
unrecognized fraternity.
The first meeting of the screening
and review committee resulted in the
invitation of all national fraternities
and sororities to apply for official
recognition at UNC-G. Over fifty
organizations asked to be considered
and nearly forty of these groups sent
representatives to LINC-G to meet
with the committee. By April 24,
1980, the committee had selected five
national fraternities and nine na-
tional sororities to receive approval
for colonization at LINC-G. In the in-
vitations were a set of guidelines
which each group would be expected
to follow.
Earlier that spring Sigma Phi Ep-
silon Fraternity was denied universi-
ty recognition. Upon release of the
committee's official list of recognized
fraternities the three which had peti-
tioned and been rejected strongly
contested not being on the list. The
committee stated that these three
had not ranked as high as was re-
quired to receive recognition.
The committee set the fall of 1980
as the date for the selected frater-
nities and sororities to colonize. Four
national fraternities and seven na-
tional sororities actively recruited
members in the fall of 1980. Since
that time UNC-G has increased its
Greek community to include seven
chartered fraternities and six
chartered sororities.

Spartan Success
Story
by TY BUCKNER
Intercollegiate athletics have ex-
isted in some form at the University
of North Carolina at Greensboro for
as long as anyone can remember.
Over the last three to four years the
UNC-G athletic program has enjoyed
success like never before.
Having firmly aligned itself with
the National Collegiate Athletic
Association (NCAA) Division III two
years ago, the athletic program has
steadily improved. Spartan teams are
now nationally competitive.
The achievements of two UNC-G
teams in 1982 bear witness to the re-
cent upswing of the athletic program.
In March, the women's basketball
team, under first year head coach
Lynne Agee, reached the final game
of the inaugural NCAA Division III
Championship tournament before
losing by one point in overtime.
Then, in November, the soccer team
captured the University's first team
national championship by winning
the ninth NCAA Division III title
under the guidance of coach Mike
Berticelli in his third season.
UNC-G has become a Dixie Inter-
collegiate Athletic Conference cham-
pionship contender in each of the
eight league sports that Spartan
teams participate. For example,
every UNC-G team recorded an
upper-division (top four teams)
finish during the 1981-82 year, and
five teams captured conference
regular season or tournament
championships.
Four outstanding coaches have
been largely responsible for the Spar-
tan teams' success, and they were
recognized for their efforts. Soccer
and golf coach Mike Berticelli, who
came to UNC-G from Thomas Col-
lege of Maine in 1980, was named
South Region Soccer coach of the
year in 1980 and 1981. Women's
basketball and tennis coach Lynne
Agee, who came from Roanoke Col-
lege in 1981, was Dixie Conference
women's basketball coach of the year
following the 1981-82 season and was
runner-up in balloting for national
Division III coach of the year honors.
Volleyball and Softball coach Tere
Dail, after four seasons as a head
coach at UNC-G, has been named
Dixie Conference coach of the year in
both sports. Ed Douma, who succeed-
ed coach Larry Hargett as men's
basketball and tennis coach, brought
nine years of head-coaching ex-
perience when he came in 1982 from
Kent State University of Ohio, a
Division I Program.
UNC-G athletes have won
numerous All-Dixie Conference
awards over the past several years
and some have received all-region
honors as well. Four players have
been accorded All-America recogni-
tion. They are golfer Joe Caldiera in
1980, golfer Ryan Fox in 1981,
women's basketball player Carol
Peschel in 1982, and soccer player
Louis Johnstone in 1982.

STUDENT LIFE
Edited by Sharon L. Vance
The Rock, one of UNC-G's most
memorable landmarks and the
school's only 12.7 ton belletin board,
serves as the somewhat bumpy can-
vas for student messages and graffit-
ti. Legend has it that the Rock began
as a tiny pebble found on campus,
but in reality the Rock was purchased
from Lambeth Construction Com-
pany in 1973 for $31.78 by the Phi
Kappa chapter of Alpha Phi Omega.
The men's service fraternity had the
Rock hauled to UNC-G from a

Jamestown quarry as a measure to
help save the statue of Charles Dun-
caun Mclver which standsin front of
the library. Before the Rock, students
had painted the statue of Dr. Mclver
and the combination of paint and
erosion was wearing it down. Much to
the relief of the administration Alpha
Phi Omega initiated the Rock as the
new object for painting on August 21,
1973.
The Rock is still a source of inter-
est and a source of information on
campus. WUAG, the campus radio
station, used it to advertise their luck
to their graduates, and the Greeks on
campus used it often to announce
their events and to help promote
shcool spirit. During the last weeks of
spring semester it was also used as an
election billboard, be£u-ing slogans
like "Those Who Know Better Vote
For Katzenstein" and "Cyndi Brown
For Attorney General."

Greensboro's City Stage 1982
Cars were absent from the streets of
downtown Greensboro during the weekend
of October 1-3, but people certainly were
not. Participation was the real highhght of
the third annual City Stage Celebration,
sponsored by the Greensboro Arts Council
and Miller Brewing Company.
The thousands of Greensboro and sur-
rounding area citizens as well as
newcomers to City Stage were awed by the
event. It appeared as a mini World's Fair.
Every interest was fulfilled by some
feature of the three-day affair.
Fifty acts performed during Saturday
and Sunday. Highlight performances in-
cluded Pieces of A Dream, Commander
Cody and Jerry Walker. For all those who
still had the "sand in their shoes," Maurice
Williams and the Zodiacs were on hand to
sing "Miss Grace." Well-known jazz
trumpeter Dizzy Gillespie could be found
at Stage One throughout the weekend.
The folk Art stage was one of the more
popular areas. Crafts such as pottery,
quilting, woodcarving and basket making
were demonstrated. For the younger set
KinderKountry was the place to be. UNC-
G's Theatre for Young People was
spotlighted in this playground. The first
North Carolina Black Arts Festival was
added.
"People-watching" was one of the other
activities of City Stage. It was obvious that
many people were there to have fun and
from the look of things, they certainly did
just that.

Commemoration
Almighty and Everlasting God, Source of all Wisdom and Strength: For our faith in
the dignity of every human soul, and the infinite worth of all mankind —
We give thanks to Thee, 0 God.
For the preservation of our state and nation, founded upon this faith in freedom
and brotherhood —
We do humbly thank Thee.
For men and women who throughout our history have possessed the courage to pro-
claim and defend these principles, that the promise inherent in them might live —
We thank Thee, the author of our faith.
And today, for one who translated sacrifice and toil into the founding of this in-
stitution, solemnly dedicated to the fulfillment of that promise —
We thank Thee, as we honor his memory.
For the unidentified many who caught from him that vision, and by their silent but
powerful belief in his dream made it the Common Will —
We give thanks to Thee. O Lord.
For those within these walls, who have devoted their lives to the end that true
scholarship and enriched living might be within the reach of young people
everywhere —
We give thanks to Thee, 0 God.
For thousands of students who have enjoyed this heritage, and have given forth
manifold that which they have received —
We do thank Thee, 0 Lord.
And ever mindful of the deep obligation to preserve and extend human happiness
through knowledge and service, we pray that Thy hand be upon us in the challenge
of this hour, as it was upon those who dared to build a college in days of great
privation.
Amen.
May those who enter here recognize in Thy goodness and Thy wisdom the strength
which may be theirs as they join, in spiritual communion and fellowship, those who
have gone before; may they rejoice in that tradition of sound scholarship and
responsible freedom, bequeathed to them in good faith by those our honored dead;
may they count this heritage a challenge to higher and nobler service.
That none among us may falter.
That none among us may forget.
We pray Thee, 0 God.
For such is our reasonable service.
For all the saints, who from their labours rest.
Who Thee by faith before the world confess'd.
Thy name.O Jesus, be forever bless 'd.
Alleluia! Alleluia!

Performs in Lecture Series
Each year as a part of the Universi-
ty Concert/Lecture Series, the UNC-
G Dance Company performs. This
year the company's concert consisted
of five dances encompassing styles
from classic vallet to freeform
modern dance, giving the evening a
diverse range of entertainment.
Opening the performance was a
modern dance, ''Focus",
choreographed by Dorothy Berea
Silver, a former Graham dancer and
current artist-in-residence at UNC-
G. "Focus" explores the idea of
children discovering a new toy. The
dancers relied on an eight-foot cir-
cular platform fixed atop a large in-
flated innertube.
Following "Focus" was the only
classical ballet selection, "Pas de
Trois", from "Swan Lake." The
dancers displayed the technical
demands of the dance with grace.
"Fermorphosis Myths", a dance
pertaining to various myths about
women, was accompanied by unique
sounds of video games, incessant
phones ringing, and the voices of the
dancers in an up-and-down
cacophony. The lighting designed by
Dana Lowell greatly enhanced the
performance.
Dancers were able to show their in-
dividual qualities of movement in the
performance of "War Babies." The
profound statement of war and its
impact created intensely emotional
images for the audiences.
The final performance of the even-
ing was "Video Jukebox." Based on a
casual theme, dancers wandered on
as stagehands and then moved
through the audience greeting peo-
ple. "Video Jukebox" developed
through various episodes, each telling
a story.

ray, Chairperson, MDA Superdance
Committee.
Approximately seventy dancers helped make
dreams come true for "Jerry's kids" at the
MDA Superdance. The dance was sponsored
by EUC and raised $3000, an increase over last
year's total by $1000,
The dance, which lasted twelve hours, was
held on January 28. The theme was "Ease On
Down The Road." During those twelve hours
entertainment was provided by the UNC-G
doggers.

there is no cure. MDA is a voluntary national
health agencv aimed at conquering the disease.
Through the help of MDA. many children have
a brighter future.

30 — Fall Sprawl
Fall
Sprawl
As the leaves turned all shades of
red, orange, and yellow, the campus
prepared to celebrate Fall Sprawl,
the offspring of Falderal, which
helped students get over the midterm
blues. It began on Wednesday, Oc-
tober 7, with the traditional "Kiss or
Treat." On Thursday, October 8, a
pep rally in the quad brought the
students together to cheer on the
Spartans. The highlight of Fall
Sprawl was held at Jamieson
Stadium: The first Homecoming in
the ninety-one year history of UNC-
G. Elizabeth "Skoal" Ford was
crowned UNC-G's first Homecoming
queen. Although there had been
much controversy over celebrating
homecoming, it proved to unite the
school behind its team. Even though
the Spartans lost, the spirit of the
crowd never lessened. After the game,
the traditional fireworks display was
held. Many students held parties in
the dorm after the game. The campus
was invaded by many creatures on
Friday, October 9, who were sear-
ching out all the dorm parties. The
quad was filled with many activities
on Saturday and Sunday. Students
enjoyed the music of "Killowatt" and
"Arrogance" while ARA treated them
to a picnic in the quad. At nightfall,
once again creatures began to make
their way to the costume ball at EUC
where they danced to the music of
"Smyle." There was something for
everyone held in the quad on Sunday,
including "Fantastic Feats for
Fools." As the sun began to set over
the campus, it was time once again
for students to turn their attention to
their books and studies.

Silent night, Holy Night, all is
calm, all is bright. As evening falls
each year on the day before final ex-
ams begin, the campus begins to glow
with thousands of candles lining the
streets and walkways. No other event
inspires the hope and spirit of the
Christmas season quite like
luminaries. For thirteen years the
luminaries have symbolized the start
of the Christmas season for students.
Over five thousand candles glowed
this year as students assembled in the
quad to sing carols around a bonfire.
The event was sponsored by Alpha
Phi Omega, EUC, and Gamma Sigma
-Events Sigma.
. , . Lumanaries and Lovefeast
The lovefeast is an annual event at
UNC-G attended by over two thou-
sand people from the campus and the
surrounding community. This year's
service was led by area ministers and
the Neo-Black Society performed
during one of the four services. Each
year's lovefeast features the singing
of carols, the reading of scripture,
and prayer. Moravian buns and cof-
fee are served to the congregation
and candles are distributed. When all
candles are lit the service ends in a
final carol. It has become a tradition
to carry the glowing candles from the
service into the night. It is considered
good luck to reach your destination
with the candle still lit.
Black History Month
On January 30, 1983, February was

featured speaker and spoke on "The
Role of the Black College Student in
the "SO's."
Throughout the month various lec-
tures and special events were held on

the events. These include: the
English Club, the Neo-Black Society,
the History Club, EUC Council,
Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, the
Political Science Students Associa-
tion, the Residential College Human
Relations Committee, and the
Association for Women Students.

It's morning. As the student's
alarm clock sounds and he reaches to
turn it off, it dawns on him what dav-
it is. FRIDAY! After classes he will
pack his things and head home.
Many others like him will also be
shuffling to their cars with suitcases
and books. This familiar site has led
I'NC-G to be nicknamed a "suitcase
college."
Because many students are going
home for the weekend, one could con-
clude that for many, home must not
be very far away. Therefore, students
take advantage of the easy access to
their homes.
For the Weekend
Although LINC-G is considered a
"suitcase college", this trend appears
to be declining. One reason could be
the expansion of Greek life at UNC-
G, creating a family-away-from fami-
ly effect. Also, UNC-G has broadened
its social structure with many more
activities on campus. With the in-
crease of these social activities, school
spirit also seems to be on the
increase.
In spite of the fact that UNC-G's
nickname, "suitcase college", is
fading with the incrase of activities
on and around campus, many
students still insist there is no place
like home.

Twice this year the North Carolina

the university. On the first occasion
they helped in celebrating Founder's
Day. Their second appearance on
February 1 included guest pianist
Edward Cone.
The Gewandhaus Orchestra of
Zeipzig, founded by Johann Sebas-
tian Bach in 1743, performed on
November 8. This exceptional or-
chestra, under the direction of Kurt
Masar, proved to be among the
leading contenders for the title of
"Europe's Finest Orchestra."
Appearing November 13 was the
American Ballet Theater II, under
the direction of Richard Englund.
The company was a showcase of ris-
ing young ballet stars.
The highlight of the Concert

ed violinist Itzhak Perlman. Mr.
Perlman has won the coveted Leven-
tritt Competition and numerous

Merchant of Venice
UNC-G's department of Com-
munication and Theater presented
William Shakespeare's "The Mer-
chant of Venice" on November 3.
Though originally written as a com-
edy, the play is commonly performed
as a tragedy by eliminating the final
act. William C. Wendt, director of the
program, chose to present the play as
a romantic comedy.
Though the play is based on the
amusing adventures of three sets of
lovers, a somber note was incor-
porated into the frolic by the perfor-
mance of George Ward. He portrayed
a man consumed with vengeance and
hatred who, after seeing the error of
his ways, learned a valuable lesson
about prejudice and the tragic events
which frequently follow.
Since Shakespearean performers
have traditionally worn the typical
clothes of that era, Wendt decided to
try a new approach using contem-
porary costumes. Costume designer
Pat Dinsmore, a senior majoring in
design and technical theater,
developed the costumes from the
latest high fashion designs for men
and women.

Her involvement with Gamma

ded to a service record with which
few students can compare. Dalphene
felt her involvement was proof that
caring, dedicated students make the
difference at UNC-G.
Never content to stand back and
simply let matters go, Dalphene was a

A profound faith in God is one of

Esker felt UNC-G was the ideal
place to gain his education while
representing his school in men's
basketball. In his four years he con-
tributed to the athletic notability of
the school with impressive playing.
Like so many students, Esker felt
that the University was large enough
to allow maximum opportunity yet
small enough to allow a more per-
sonal touch in professor-student rela-
tions. He felt that UNC-G had given
him a solid education from which he
planned to build a successful future,
hopefully as a professional person.
Of all the people Esker noted as be-
ing significant in his development,
his parents stood above all. He hopes
the future will allow him to be as
good a parent to his own as they were
to him. His good training and
background made him a success as an
athlete and as a student.

It has (if'ten been said that ynu get
out of ht'e only what yt)u put into it. If
this is true, then Joy can expect many
fulfilling and rewarding experiences
in the years ahead.
Joy's stay here at UNC-G was one
that marked campus-wide involve-
ment. Her kev role in the Town Stu-
dent Association, as well as her many
other interests, helped to make her
one of LINC-G's more "recognizable
faces."
Joy's dedication and hard work
were just as evident inside the
classroom as well. Realizing that she
was here for an education, she ap-
proached her studies with a most
serious attitude. Double majoring in
Business Administration and Math,
with a minor in Communications, Joy
is one student who has earned the ti-
tle "outstanding."

Kendra chose UNC-G because of
the location in North Carolina and
short distance from larger
metropolitan areas such as Atlanta
and Washington, D.C. During her
four years at UNC-G Kendra 's family
remained stationed in Portugal on
military assignment. Quite an ex-
perienced traveler, Kendra is not yet
satisfied being landlocked or tied to
one locale for long. Fiercely indepen-
dent and broad-minded, she
established herself early in her four
years and climbed the ladder to
editor-in-chief of the Caromian by
her junior year. She continued her
success for yet another year as editor
and raised not only the circulation of
the paper but the standards as well.
Kendra accredits her parents with
setting the strongest examples in the
development of her values and in-
tegrity. She was chosen by her class
as outstanding senior and was
selected the class speaker for com-
mencement. She will be remembered
as much for her words as for her
unselfish, humanitarian
contributions.

Veda is remembered more as a
humanitarian than for the honors she
received during her four years at
UNC-G. In giving her time and
energies to many organizations and
causes she showed unselfish concern
for the betterment of student life.
Elected president of the Alumni
class of 1983, Veda demonstrated the
integrity instilled in her by her
parents. Coming from a large family
taught her great respect for others
and patience. She accredits her four
brothers and four sisters as being
unending beacons of light which gave
her the encouragement and courage
to undertake great endeavors.
Veda served in Alpha Kappa Alpha
sorority, the Executive Cabinet of
Student Government, Neo Black
Society, Golden Chain, and was
elected by her class as an outstanding
senior. Her goodwill and kindness,
her genuine concern for fellow
students, and her integrity
distinguish her and place her among
the finest UNC-G has to offer.

ATHLETICS
The players, not just their athletic capabilities, are a major reason
for Spartan success.
Under the Uniforms
bv Richard Mason
When trying to pinpt)int exactly
why UNC-G athletic teams have en-
joyed the success they have over the
past few years, one very important
factor quickly becomes evident. The
players, not just their athletic
capabilities, are a major reason for
the recent success for the Spartans.
During his UNC-G appearance,
Tom Sullivan pointed out how col-
lege athletes are stereotyped as
"jocks." He followed this by em-
phasizing that they have feelings and
think like everybody else, but we the
public stereotype them as "jocks."
Adding to the intelligence and emo-
tions that make the Spartans win, the
amount of sactifice each athlete
makes, the stereotype "jock"
becomes insulting. A quick glance at
the personal files of the various
UNC-G athletes will reveal that they
are not a bunch of "dumb jocks."
Lewis Johnstone and Wendy
Engelmann have not only been
honored for their achievements on
the field and court, but also for their
academic success.
Another important part of each of
the Spartans is their emotion.
Whether they allow their emotions to
show or keep them hidden until they
are alone and out of the public's eye.
they all play with an intensity that
says, "I want to win."
The players on the women's
basketball team and the soccer team
exemplify the two extremes of emo-
tion. The soccer team seemed to
thrive on their on-field outburst of
emotion, while the Lady Spartans
waited until the final second had
ticked off the clock before they
celebrated another victory or left to
hide their disappointment from the
crowd.
It was this emotion that kept the
soccer team going after losing to
Clemson in the Clemson Invitational
Tournament and after losing a heart-
breaker to Notre Dame on UNC-G's
first Homecoming. Their emotion
would play a key role in the NCAA
Tournament as the Spartans played
all but one game on the road. Even in
the championship game, the high
emotion gave them the edge they
needed on a cold rainy Sunday after
Thanksgiving.
In the same vein, it was this type of
emotion, both the players and the
fans, that enabled the men's basket-
ball team to defeat North Carolina
Wesleyan and St. Andrews when
both teams were in the top twenty. It
was the same emotion that carried
the team through when they upset
ASU at Boone.
Another admirable trait in the
Spartan athletes is the tremendous
amount of sacrifice each one makes.
They sacrifice free time, study time,
and make other sacrifices only they
know.
The initial sacrifice of free time in-
volves studying late while most
students have already called it a
night. They have to use what free
time they may have for studying
because while they are practicing,
playing or traveling, the average stu-
dent studies or wastes time.
A letter to theCarolinian last fall
pointed out that UNC-G athletes are
just like the non-athletic students.
They go to class and they eat in the
same cafeterias. In many ways they
are like the non-athletic students,
but in ways they are markedly dif-
ferent. The combination of scholar-
ship, athletic ability, emotion, and
sacrifice makes each player the win-
ner both on and off the field or court.
It is the unique qualities of each
player, each team, that makes UNC-
G athletes one of the finest represen-
tatives for this great university.

Volleyball
Spikers Dominate Dixie Conference
Lisa Beverly
^
One of the key 1 players on the
women's volleyball team this year
was sophomore hitter Lisa Beverly
from Mt. Airy. Beverly was player of
the week several times in the Dixie
Conference and was nominated by
coach Tere Dail for an All- American
honors.
As a hitter and blocker, Lisa's job
at the net was to drive balls home for
a "kill" or block the opponents shot
again for either a side out or a score.
Beverly performed her job very well,
as did all of her teammates.
In one two game stretch she had a
hitting percentage of .714 and was
leading the team in hitting percen-
tage with .514. A players hitting
percentage is based on the number of
hits a player has resulting in either
points or a side out.
Beverly was a very energetic
player both on and off the court.
During matches she would
energetically congratulate her team-
mates after a good play and when
she was on the bench resting, she
would give her team vocal support.
Coach Dail has been very pleased
with the way Lisa has developed as a
player over the past two seasons and
feels Lisa will develop into an ex-
cellent player by the time she ■
graduates. J
When coach Tere Dail's women's
volleyball team took the court in 1982
she was not too sure of how she felt
about the season. Although the team
had a lot going for it in having four
returnees from the 1981 Dixie Con-
ference Tournament championship
team, it was still a young team, with
only two seniors and four
sophomores.
Her doubts and fears were soon
laid to rest as the Spartans overcame
their youth, after having played
together awhile. By the season's end.
the Spartans won the conference ti-
tle, the Dixie Conference Tourna-
ment, and received a bid to play Ohio
Northern in the NCAA Tournament.
Altht>ugh the winning involved a
team effort, there were four players
who had outstanding seasons. Senior
Brenda Suits made first team All-
Conference, first team All-
Tournament and was MVF of the
conference tournament. Sophomore
Maggie Hayes also had made first
team All-Conference and All-
Tournament. Sophomore Lisa Bever-
ly joined Suits and Hayes and the
first team in both All-Conference and
All-Tournament. Sophomore defen-
sive specialist Shirese Moore made
second team All-Conference and join-
ed her teammates on the All-
Ti>urnament team.
Maggie Hayes
Another one iif the key players fur
this year's team nas sophomore
Maggie Hayes. Maggie's job uas to
set halls for the team 's hitters. Coach
Bail uas eery pleased with Maggie's
setting this year and by the leay
Maggie developed her serving and
hitting game. Like Beverly Suits,
and Moore, Hayes made Dixie Con-
ference Player of the Week at least
once during the seasim.
Although Maggie's strength is her
setting, she had two very strong
games serving. In the game against
(ireensboro College when the
Spikers clinched at least a tie for the
conference title. Maggie had four
service aces In one other game, she
had seven straight points while
serving.

In only their second year of affilia-
tion with the Dixie conference, the
Spartans had little trouble winning
the conference regular season title.
Their only stiff competition came
from North Carolina Wesleyan Col-
lege, who had given the Spikers their
only conference defeat early in the
season. UNC-G avenged the loss by
defeating North Carolina Wesleyan
in a two-hour marathon in Rocky
Mount.
When the season neared its end,
the Spartans held their destiny in
their own hands. Two of their final
four regular season matches were
against Dixie Conference opponents.
They first beat Greensboro College to
claim a tie for the title. Next they
traveled to Laurinburg to play St.
Andrews for the outright title. The
Spartans defeated St. Andrews, cap-
turing the conference title and a first
round bye in the league tournament.
In the semifinals of the Dixie Con-
ference Tournament the Spartans
defeated St. Andrews. In the finals
they were pitted against the only con-
ference team to have defeated them,
North Carolina Wesleyan. Again they
defeated them for the second straight
championship.
The spikers received a bid to play
in the NCAA Division III Tourna-
ment. In the opening round UNC-G
traveled to play Ohio Northern
University where they were handed a
season ending loss.

A Season of Soccer Celebration
The Spartans line up for the National Anthem lieture the I 'niversity's first Homecoming game.
It began as a year of promise for
the 1982 UNC-G Soccer team. It was
returning a strong nucleus from a
team that had made it to the finals of
the NCAA Division III South-New
Jersey Regional playoff before losing
to eventual national champion
Glassboro State College. By the end
of the year the team had proved how
good it was by defeating Bethany
College of West Virginia for the na-
tional championship.
The season began very quietly for
the Spartans as they were only able
to win their first few games over Con-
ference opponents by one to two
goals. During the fourth game of the
year, they were ranked second in the
nation and playing against tradi-
tionally tough Averett College. The
Spartans were only able to score one
goal and lost 2-1.
The Spartans continued their win-
ning ways in their next game against
High Point College with a 2-1 victory.
They continued their slim win
margins until their games against
Catawba and St. Andrews. In the two
games, the Spartans exploded for a
total of twenty-six goals while only
allowing one each by Catawba and St.
Andrews.
Head coach Mike Berticelli felt the
team was finally beginning to play
"its game" after the two convincing
wins. This coming together of the
team could not have come together at
a better time as the team was going
into the "meat of its schedule."
The first part of the final part of
the schedule was a trip to Clemson to
play in the Clemson Invitational. In
the first round, the Spartans blanked
Division I opponent Appalachian
State 5-0 to set up a meeting with
perennial Division I powerhouse
Clemson. The Spartans were able to
shut the Tigers out for the first
forty-five minutes but the Tigers got
two early goals and went on for a 2-0
win. The Spartans then went on a
three game winning streak defeating
Wake Forest, Elon, and East
Carolina.
Then came one of the biggest
games in Spartan soccer history: a
Homecoming Game against Notre
Dame. The Spartans battled Notre
Dame to a 1-1 tie in regulation. After
the Irish got two quick goals and put
a damper on the festivities by defeat-
ing the Spartans 3-1. The Irish goals

were the most scored against UNC-G
ail year.
The Spartans tuned up for the
NCAA Tournament by defeating
Methodist 5-0. The win over
Methodist put the Spartans in a
three way tie for the Dixie Con-
ference title. The Spartans traveled
north to begin play against Lyn-
chburg College in the opening round
of the South New Jersey Regional.
The 3-0 victory over Lynchburg set
up a grudge match between UNC-G
and Glassboro State, the team that
eliminated them last year. The SpM-
tans got their revenge and the South
New Jersey Regional Championship
with a 3-1 victory.
In the next round the Spartans
were matched against the number
one ranked Plymouth State. Thanks
to Mike Sweeney's goal in the second
overtime, the Spartans were in the
quarterfmjds against Cortland State.
Again it was overtime and again it
was Mike Sweeney scoring a goal for
a victory in sudden death overtime,
the first overtime the score still re-
mained tied. In the second overtime
The Spartans then had one
obstacle between them and the Na-
tional Championship. For once in the
tournament the Spartans were play-
ing in Greensboro at Guilford Col-
lege. On a cold, rainy day the Spar-
tans proved themselves champions.
Fittingly it was Mike Sweeney who
scored the winning goal. The clincher
came in the second half on a penalty
kick. The Bisons came back later to
score one goal; it was not enough as
the Spartans won 2-1.

Johnstone Finishes on Top
One name that is near the top of
the list of outstanding UNC-G
athletes is Lewis Johnstone, the all-
time leading goal scorer in Spartan
soccer history. Johnstone, of
Lochmaben, Scotland, did not come
to UNC-G to play soccer. In fact, the
sport of soccer was new to him after
playing rugby in high school.
Johnstone, "a coach's player," has
excellent speed, quickness, and the
knack of being where he should be at
the right time. Another one of his
strengths is his ability to play hurt.
He had an injury in the early part of
the 1982 season that should have
kept him on the bench. Instead, he
played and was instrumental in the
Spartan's early season success. In his
four years at UNC-G, Johnstone
scored 66 goals. He scored 28 his
freshman year, a school record, six
his sophomore year, 14 his junior
year, and 18 his senior year.
The impressive thing about
Johnstone's scoring in his senior year
was that he always had the op-
ponents best player covering him.
Although he did not lead the team in
scoring, he was a stabilizing factor on
the field. When Bethany College
began its surge late in the second half
of the national championship game
coach Berticelli put Johnstone in the
backfield to help settle the team
down and for defensive purposes.
A lot of great things have been said
about Johnstone, but the softspoken
striker has never been one to blow his
own horn. Instead of talking about
himself, he just played the game to
the best of his ability. As the record
book shows, his best very good.
Senior Lewis Johnstone heads the ball down field against Clemson. .Johnstone is the school's all-time
leading goalscorer with 66.

Borges and the Spart-ans set up c
Although the Spartan's road
to the National Championship
was by no means easy, by look-
ing at the team's statistics it's
easy to see why the Spartans
enjoyed such success.
For the season, playoffs in-
cluded, the Spartans outscored
their opponents seventy-six
goals to eighteen. The Spar-
tans almost equaled their op-
ponents' total output for the
season in their 14-1 rout of
Catawba. Notre Dame scored
three goals against the Spar-
tans, the most in the season.
While the Spartans blanked
nine of their opponents, two in
the playoffs, Clemson was the
only team able to keep them
scoreless.
The Spartans were led in
scoring by sophomore Mike
Sweeney. Sweeney scored
twenty-three goals and had
thirteen assists for fifty-nine
points. Lewis Johnstone was
second with forty-two points.
Johnstone had eighteen goals
and six assists. Third for the
Spartans in scoring was Louis
Borges with fifteen goals, ten
assists, and forty points.
The team, having its best
record ever, a 19-3 mark, made
an impressive record indeed.
The team ranks 6-1 in the
tournament.

For the UNC-G soccer team, its 2-1
victory over Bethany College of West
Virginia in the NCAA Division III
Championship game was a glorious
finish to the 1982 season.
Before the championship final
game the Spartans had compiled a
14-3 regular season record. In the
playoffs the Spartans had already
defeated defending champion
Glassboro State and number one-
ranked Plymouth State.
The dream of a national champion-
ship had been on the minds of
players, coaches, and fans for a long
time. When the team took the field
Sunday, November 28, it was the
dream coming true.
In the early minutes of the game
the Spartans fired a number of shots
at the opponent goal. The Spartans
drew first blood at the 25:45 mark
when Louis Borges took his rebound-
ed shot off Bison goalie Rod Hines
and put it past him for a 1-0 Spartan
lead.
The Spartans continued applying
pressure on the Bisons' goal and
eventually got a penalty kick on a
hand ball. Sophomore Mike Sweeney
took the penalty kick and drilled it
past Hines for a commanding lead of
2-0.
The Bisons came back in the final
ten minutes and scored their only
goal after a pushing penalty on the
Spartans. The Bisons pressured
Spartan goalie Tim Borer but he pro-
ved equal to the task and kept the
Bisons from scoring a winning goal.
The Bisons outshot the Spartans
15-13, though the Spartans had the
lead at halftime 10-3. Borer made
nine saves for the Spartans and
Hines had eleven for the Bisons.
For the soccer team it was a day
when shouting "We're Number l!"
had become reality.

remaining.
The 72-69 win came as a surprise to
St. Andrews who had enjoyed as
much as a 14 point lead in the first
half. Senior guard Will Peterson, a
Division III All-American, was the
leading scorer in the game's first half,
with 17 points. Powell and Tatum
contributed the leading points in the

When looking back on the 82-83
basketball season, one thing will
stand out in the women's basketball
team's memory — injuries. The first
injury came when senior and second
all-time scorer in women's basketball,
Jody Mangus injured a knee in the
opening game at Guilford College.
Jody was able to play, but was unable
to regain her form before the season
ended. The next injury was to
sophomore Karen Crouch. Like
Mangus she suffered a knee injury
and was a wing player. The final, and
in some ways, the most devastating
injury, came when sophomore Sherry
Sydney was lost for the remainder of
the season when she came down
wrong against Longwood College. But
even with the devastating injuries,
the Spartans were able to record an
11-1 conference record and an 18-6
regular season record.
In the first part of the season
UNC-G shaped a 5-2 record with
wins over Guilford and Mesa Col-
leges. Their only losses came to Divi-
sion I schools: The University of
Virginia and the University of
Missouri. The games against Mesa
College and the University of
Missouri came in the University of
Northern Colorado Tournament,
where UNC-G finished third.
The second half of the season
opened with an eight game winning
streak that Elon College stopped
with a four point loss. During their
eight game winning streak, the Spar-
tans defeated five conference op-
ponents and cross-town rival
Guilford College. The loss to Elon
started a downhill trend for UNC-G
that saw the Spartans lose three of
their next four games. In addition to
the loss to Elon, UNC-G lost to
Lenior-Rhyne and St. Andrews. The
loss to St. Andrews was their first
conference loss in two years and their
second loss to a Division III school
since the championship game loss to
Elizabethtown. UNC-G snapped
back with four straight wins over con-
ference opponents before finishing
the season with a loss to UNC-W.

Women Repeat as Tournament
Champs
When UNC-G traveled to Rocky
Mount they had more in mind than
repeating as champions in the DIAC
Tournament. They wanted to avenge
their only conference loss in two
years.
The chance to avenge their earlier
77-74 loss to St. Andrews came in Fri-
day's semi-final game. The Spartans
opened with a 12-4 lead early and St.
Andrews was never a threat to the
Spartans.
In the first half the combination of
a stingy UNC-G defense and poor
shooting by the Lady Knights led to a
39-24 halftime lead for UNC-G. The
Spartans opened the second half by
burning St. Andrews with a 20-2 blitz
and coasted into the championship
game with a 75-47 victory.
UNC-G was led by senior Marie
Cawley who pumped in 17 points and
grabbed 8 rebounds. Sophomore
Renee Coltrane added 12 rebounds
and 13 points.
In the championship game against
Christopher Newport the Spartans
overcame some early mistakes and
cut the Lady Marlins lead to two, 34-
32 at the half. Although the Spartans
lacked their intensity in the first half,
the second half was a different story
as they played to their finest
capabilities. The Spartans outscored
the Lady Marlins 14-7 in the first five
minutes and continued to build their
lead. They captured their second
straight DIAC Championship 80-64.
Junior Michele Blazevich led the
Spartans with 30 points and 15 re-
bounds. Marie Cawley scored 17
points and added 11 rebounds.
Sophomore Brenda Tolbert con-
tributed 9 assists.
In addition to winning the cham-
pionship the Spartans also placed
three players on the All-Tournament
team and had the Tournament MVP.
Senior Marie Casley was named
MVP and shared one of the three
positions on the All-Tournament
team with Michele Blazevich and
Brenda Tolbert.

Although UNC-G did not achieve
the team goal of winning the Na-
tional Championship, some of their
players had All-Star seasons. Junior
center Michele Blazevich was named
to the All-Tournament team in the
University of Northern Colorado
Tournament, All-Conference in the
Dixie Conference, All-Tournament
for the DIAC Tournament, and
nominated for All-American honors.
During the regular season, Michele
led the team in scoring with 14.2 a
game, was second in rebounding with
9.0 per game, and intimidated her op-
ponents on the inside. In the con-
ference tournament, Blazevich
played brilliantly despite being in
constant foul trouble. In the two
games she played, she shot 61 "^p from
the field, scored 40 points, and grabb-
ed 21 points. In the South Regional,
she turned in fine games against
Knoxville College and Rust College.
For the tournament, she scored 33
points and grabbed 15 rebounds.
Senior Marie Cawley also played a
banner year. Marie made the All-
Tournament team and was named
MVP in the DIAC Tournament.
Cawley was the second leading scorer
during the season with an 11.8
average and averaged over three
assists and four rebounds a game.
But it was in the conference tourna-
ment that Cawley played some of her
best basketball. In the two games, she
shot 47 "^t from the field, scored 34
points and grabbed 19 rebounds.
Joining Michele and Marie on the
All-Tournament team was
sophomore guard Brenda Tolbert.
Tolbert sparked the team on offense
throughout the year and played an
important part when the Spartans
used their press on defense. Brenda
led the teams in assists with an
average of five per game and averag-
ed over nine points a game. In the
tournament, Brenda hustled on both
ends of the court, dishing out assists
and making steals. Although she only
scored 16 points, she had 11 assists
and made three steals. In the South
Regional, Tolbert played 70 of a
possible 80 minutes. In addition to
putting in her playing time, she had
nine assists and eight rebounds.
Although she played superbly
throughout the season and the con-
ference tournament, Wendy
Engelmann did not get her just
rewards until the South Regional
where she made the All-Tournament
South Regional team. In the South
Regional, she shot 52 '^'i from the field
and scored 41 points in two games. In
addition to the rebounds, she had
eight assists. Like Tolbert,
Engelmann spent a lot of minutes on
the court during the two games, 39
against Knoxville and 36 against
Rust.
One member of the Spartans who
did not receive the recognition she
deserved was forward Renee Col-
trane. Coltrane led the team in re-
bounding, averaged double figures in
scoring and was part of UNC-G's
strong inside game. Despite fouling
out in both games of the conference
tournament, she scored 25 points and
pulled down 23 rebounds. Again in
the South Regional, she was
hampered with fouls but turned in
two excellent games. She scored 25
points and 31 rebounds, 22 of the re-
bounds came in the consolation game
against Rust.

Membership in the sorority is open to girls of all majors. A
cumulative grade point average of 2.3 is required for members to be
initiated. The twenty-one pearls earned by a pledge and found on
the initiates' pin, serve as lasting reminder of the Alpha Chi Omega

ment to develop the fullest potential as an educated woman.
Membership in Alpha Chi Omega is an achievement. Alpha Chi

Alumni Return
Sunday, May 15, 1983, was the end of a long race for nearly two
thousand UNC-G seniors and other degree candidates. It was also
the beginning of yet another race for jobs and higher education.
Jobless, ambitious, elated by the magic of the moment we
assembled outside the Greensboro Memorial Coliseum in the
warm and windy spring morning to honor and to be honored. In-
side was the grail of our American collegiate experience — the
goal for which we had labored, worried, prayed, and persevered:
the diploma.
The calendar carried endless demands in the six weeks prior to
commencement. We sold commencement invitations, elected
alumni class officers, selected the class speaker, elected twenty
outstanding seniors, held parties, gave dinner parties, and began
our last stretch toward that most celebrated event called
graduation.
The election of alumni class officers, twenty outstanding
seniors, and the class speaker is a tradition originated in the late
1890s and each year causes unrest and a rash of questions con-
cerned with the reason this even occurs so late in the year. In-
deed, why elect class officers only weeks before commencement?
Answers came from Miss Barbara Parrish ('48) and Dean
Clarence 0. Shipton. For seventy years this institution allowed
class spirit to thrive with officers for each class. This tradition
was obliterated by the first male student government president
who felt female class officers were a threat to his power. This is
one of the best examples of how students confuse power with ego
and threaten the existence of tradition. When in 1983, Kim
Theriault succeeded as the first woman student government
president since 1972, she vowed to restore the tradition of class
officers for each class. We are waiting.
The election of alumni class officers, however, remains and is
misunderstood. The purpose of this election is to elect three of-
ficers, two to coordinate class affairs in the years following
graduation. The other officer is the representative to the Alumni
Board and serves for three years. The elected president and vice
president are delegated responsibilities by the Alumni Associa-
tion and serve their class as lifetime officers for reunions and
other class matters. The 1983 Alumni Class Officers are Jill P.
Cutler, Alumni Board Representative, Marks C. Lane, Vice Presi-
dent, and Veda M. Shamsid — Deen, President.
It is also tradition to elect twenty outstanding seniors in
recognition of outstanding service to our University community.
From the Class of 1983: Alisa Abrams, Diane Ball, Beth Binner,
Ken Brinson, Joy Britt, Shari Chicurel, Dalphene Crowder, Jill
Cutler, Danny Daniel, Denise Foster, Jill Hubbard, Teresa
Lockamy, Fred Martin, Ricky McKeel, Bill Murray, Nina
Ramseur, Richard Roper, Veda Shamsid-Deen, Kendra Smith,
and Celeste Wood.
The story behind the election and selection of the class speaker
for 1983 brings smiles to the faces of those who know her. From
the moment she learned of her nomination Kendra Smith went to
work, preparing with deep conviction and determination for the
honor to come. Perhaps no other candidate measured his or her
success as a servant of the University by the outcome of this selec-
tion as Kendra did. Each candidate faced a committee comprised
of five seniors and two distinguished faculty members. This com-
mittee consisted of Dr. Lawrence Fadely, Dr. Robert Stephens,
Teresa Lockamy, Denise Foster. Dona Walk, Danny Daniel, and
Marks Lane. Candidates gave a brief presentation and were then
interviewed by the committee. Of the eight presentations, one
showed more promise and preparation than the others.
On the second and final day of the presentations Kendra ad-
dressed the committee without the expected nervousness so com-
mon to the circumstances. Fearlessly she delivered the words with
rhythm, pause, dynamics, and the confidence which qualified her
as the front-runner in the competition. Had she not removed note
cards from the podium following her presentation we wouldn't
have known they existed. The door shut behind her. Eyebrows
raised and smiles stretched the faces of the panel members. Her
words refreshed us; her conviction convinced us.
Off went the heels. The shoulders dropped. Just above the con-
ference room where we deliberated and tallied the results Kendra
retreated to her office at The Carolinian. I toyed with my pen
and paper and fidgeted like a child restrained long after his in-
terest was spent. The moment Dr. Fadely revealed the fifth of
seven first-place votes for Kendra I sprang from my seat, asking
to be excused to visit the men's room. Whether my heels ever
touched the ground as I darted up the stairs and down the hall to
Kendra's office, I simply cannot recall. I braced myself in the
doorway as my eyes caught hers. Words were purposeless. In that
magical moment the word 'congratulations' didn't come from my
lips; it came from Kendra's. Third floor was a noisy, emotionally-
charged corner of our campus that afternoon. The election results
humbled and, of course, pleased us.
One of the greatest responsibilities of the class officers and
outstanding seniors each year is to sell invitations to graduation.
The class fund is generated from the profits of this sale. This year
11,500 invitations were sold in the first sales period. A printer's
overrun increased the number sold to 12,000. Each invitation sold
for twenty-seven cents including the program, two envelopes, a
degree insert card, and the invitation. The actual cost of engrav-
Continued
ing was twenty-two cents and the nickel profit went into the class
fund. For five weeks seniors volunteered hours of their hectic
schedules to sit in the foyer of the Alumni House selling
invitations.
When Beth Binner arrived for duty she resembled Santa Claus
with her arms full of soda, a radio, and cards. She was a bird in a
cage whose spirit leapt into moments of cackling and hearty
laughter. At one point as we enjoyed a good joke with shrill
laughter reverberating throughout the stately corridors of the
Alumni House a dignified, mannerly woman stepped into the
foyer to remind us we were not in the dorms.
Those seniors who served their class with unselfish hours of
recording the sales of 12,000 invitations were Dalphene Crowder,
Beth Binner, Denise Foster, Jill Hubbard, Kendra Smith, and
Richard Roper. Those who volunteered time in the final sales
were Ricky McKeel, Tee Lockamy, and Danny Daniel.
Senior Day marked the beginning of the end. The Alumni
House was the setting for the assembly of several hundred seniors
who came to meet alumni, talk to Career Planning and Placement
representatives, and to enjoy the fellowship and refreshments.
Miss Barbara Parrish ('48), Director of Alumni, greeted seniors at
the door. She recorded each name and handed each a button with
the class color and year brightly displayed. Inside the Virginia
Dare Room seniors circulated among the alumni and ad-
ministrative personnel. From painter's caps to balloons to but-
tons it was unquestionable: RED was the color of our class.
In a number of ways the Class of 1983 embellished its mark on
the University in the remaining weeks prior to commencement.
Refusing to allow any opportunity to slip away, embracing every
chance to show appreciation for the memories of our collegiate ex-
perience, we ran the race with delight. Our most important priori-
ty was recognizing those who made our past days at the Universi-
ty special. For the dedication and loyalty shown the University
and especially our class a dinner was held to honor Miss Barbara
Parrish and Dean Clarence 0. Shipton. The outstanding seniors
and class officers spent the evening of May .'? sharing in the
wisdom and goodness of the two people who had coordinated
class affairs and organized our activities. Following the sixth
course of a candlelight dinner the grand piano across the room led
a rousing chorus of "Happy Birthday" for Dean Shiptcm. Shari
Chicurel emerged from the kitchen carrying Aunt Jane's prized
pound cake bearing two candles in the shape of question marks.
Dean Shipton continued singing until he realized the cake was for
him. Immediately following the celebraticm we discussed the need
to earmark money in the class fund for a gift to help the hand-
icapped students. President Veda M. Shamsid-Deen stressed the
importance of helping those not as able-bodied as we.
Upon adjourning Veda and I exchanged white jerseys to wear
the next day at graduation rehearsal. Stitched on to those jerseys
on the front were our respective titles in red letters. On the back
both read, "UNC — Great" with the "G" distinguished in gold,
our school color.
The next day. May 4, was Reading Day and hundreds of seniors
filed into Aycock Auditorium to rehearse graduation. As the
outstanding seniors collected change in bread baskets Veda in-
troduced Jill Cutler and me. Hoyt Price, Registrar of the Univer-
sity, followed with an explanation of formalities and procedures
to be carried out on graduation morning. At the close of rehearsel
seniors flocked to the balcony of the auditorium where the last
few invitations were sold.
May fifth through the fifteenth was a period of seemingly
endless responsibilities for us. We insisted on maximizing our op-
portunities and making the most of the final days at UNC-Great.
Upon completion of exams we approached graduation weekend
with new wind in full, splendid sails. The staff of the Alumni
House prepared for the onslaught of hundreds of returning alum-
ni. I worried excessively about the impression the Class of 1983
would make. More importantly, I worried that these fine, older
ladies might frown upon a man in a class officer position. After
all, I will be dealing with them for the rest of my life.
In droves they arrived, dentures gleaming, pictures of grand-
children changing hands, speaking the kindest words, and regard-
ing me with optimism I didn't expect. Thanks to Brenda Cooper,
Judy May, Miriam Holland, Gina Bowden, Joe Gainer, Sharon
Snider, and Carolyn James, the return of those dear alumnae was
a small miracle. They are all part of the living legacy which binds
us together into that special, select group called alumni.
Saturday morning. May 14, was the occasion of the Alumni
Mass Meeting in Aycock Auditorium. Approximately seven hun-
dred alumni from classes ending in 3 and 8 paraded down the
aisles to seats designated by brightly colored buttertlies. Many
classes sang their class songs as they processed and several carried
banners to show their class spirit. The meeting began with the in-
duction of officers of the Class of 1983 into the Alumni Associa-
Conlinued
Commencement ... a beginning
tion. On behalf of her class, Veda addressed the crowd with
modesty and praise for the University. She closed stating her
hope that our class will continue to enhance and support the
University as generously as the alumni classes preceding ours.
That afternoon seniors joined alumni at the Alumni Mayhem.
Alumni from all classes enjoyed refreshments and fellowship and
the opportunity to pass along wisdom to seniors about to reach
the finish line. That evening Chancellor Moran held his annual
reception in Cone Ballroom with an extravagant feast of hors
d'oeuvres provided by Frank DeMark. Outside the ballroom
threatening clouds gathered and the wind blew a thunderstorm
through campus. Later in the evening I presented our guest
speaker, Dr. Barbara Uehling of the University of Missouri at
Columbia, with azaleas and chocolates. Apparently she enjoyed
the chocolates: early the next morning I found her jogging
through campus.
Sunday, May 1.5, 1983. A crescendo of joy began as the
outstanding seniors and class officers gathered around the foun-
tain outside the Greensboro Memorial Coliseum. Tops popped.
Champagne poured. We toasted the magic of the moment to a
steady rhythm of clicking cameras. With commencement only an
hour away we doted like children on holiday. Hugs, smiles, a few
tears, and many sentimental moments raised our spirits while
more champagne passed into hands which would soon grasp
degrees. We moved from the fountain onto the lawn beneath the
marquee with its glittering message: "UNC-G COMMENCE-
MENT TODAY 10::30 A.M." Cameras clicked. Champagne
poured. Inside the downbeat of the processional signaled the
change of mood to dignity and reverence. Hearts fluttered in each
of us as we moved with hushed enthusiasm to our seats. Glancing
into the crowds we found the faces of those whose hearts swelled
with the love and pride which sustained us through our collegiate
experiences. The joy was complete as we received confirmation
that our loved ones were with us.
In the next hour we witnessed routine introductions and pro-
ceedings forgotten almost as soon as they were completed. Two
speeches offered words of wisdom. Dr. Barbara Uehling encour-
aged us with foresight into this age of booming technology and
the directions into which it's heading. She explained how our
education helps us cope with the trends of supertechnology. Mid-
way through her address a champagne stopper rocketed toward
the platform to the delight and surprise of the crowd. Even Dr.
Uehling paused in laughter and the culprits blushed in
mischievousness. Dr. Uehling concluded her address reminding
us that diamonds are created under pressure; she requested that
we become diamonds.
Kendra Smith approached the podium bearing the greatest
responsibility of any honoree. To address her graduating class
and the twelve thousand attending was the final test of her
undergraduate service. As though rehearsed even in her sleep
every phrase, pause, and inflection was perfect. The audience re-
mained hushed with all eyes fixed upon Kendra as she defined
the four freedoms Franklin D. Roosevelt declared essential to
human existence in our society. I cannot recall another student in
my years at UNC-Great prouder or more defensive of freedom
than Kendra. Appropriately her address gave focus to the
freedoms we take for granted. During her speech I recalled her
presentation before the selection committee six weeks prior. At
both times she appealed to the feelings of patriotism dwelling
deeply within members of the audience. Kendra's speech is in-
cluded in the pages of this section because of its most important
message for posterity and in recognition of her spirit and
contributions.
One by one each school or college rose. Chancellor Moran pro-
nounced the Class of 1983 graduated as a wave of hysterical
cheers and shouts rolled from wall to wall. Confetti blurred my vi-
sion and continued snowing over our class. In the stands families,
friends, and relatives joined in the tumult. 1 recall seeing my
sister raising her arms in a victory sign and then a cloud of confet-
ti wisped through the air. Around me friends clung to each other.
Confetti stuck to the face of one friend whose tears reminded me
my face was flushed with moisture and streaming emotion. Visual
impressions remain today. Who will forget the mortarboards
which read, "PLEASE HIRE ME!" and "THANKS, MOM AND
DAD!"? Who will forget the dance majors who turned pirouettes
upon conferral? The benediction concluded and we filed out into
the sun's radiance and into the arms of our loved ones. Parents
delighted in our diplomas. Cameras clicked. And the afternoon
unfolded into quiet celebration and the reality of unemployment.
The words of Sir Winston Churchill rang through my head as I
persevered in finishing this book. Addressing the commencement
class of a boys' preparatory school he stood with serious de-
meanor gazing upon his audience. The only words of his address:
"Never give up. Never give up. NEVER give up!"
Monday, January 2, 1984. Employment. Career satisfaction?
Employment, thank God. Career satisfaction can only be ac-
curately measured by periods longer than the seven months since
commencement. But the completion of this yearbook became
another career.
Indeed, what began in the summer of 1982 as a tribute to the
restoration and preservation of tradition at UNC-Great declined
into an ill-fated attempt by October of 1983. Abandoned by its
elected editor and facing a multitude of technical complications
the tradition of seventy-one years of Pine Needles almost ended.
When, in much doubt of its worth as a publication. University
Media Board voted to publish the remains, I accepted the
challenge to seam together the ragged edges.
For the first time in my life I made coffee an absolute essential
part of my diet. Gallon by gallon I was supplied with a caffeinic
charge keeping my eyelids apart and my nerves stretched from
one end of my apartment to the other waking the dust which nor-
mally lies asleep. Brownlines, bluelines. and the lines under my
eyes gave evidence of progress but most importantaly. hope.
Blocks away at the Univeristy dice continued to roll and
pessimists spent their energies trying to complicate my work.
Between my career and the late hours of yearbook labors I cleared
the hurdles and continued running all the way to the Federal Ex-
press drop-off office. The 1983 Pine Needles arrived in Dallas,
Texas, the following morning. I put the coffee back into the
cabinet, the dust went back to sleep, and my full attention re-
sumed on my career.
The Class of 1983 hopes that future classes will continue to
fight to preserve a richer American collegiate tradition. It was our
great privilege to witness the advent of the premiere homecoming
with our first homecoming queen in ninety-one years. We are
thankful for leadership which restores tradition and spirit rather
than obliterating it. We look forward to returning to an even
greater UNC-Great which offers with equity chances for others to
achieve. We salute the plan for development as it maintains the
importance of a liberal arts education in the face of
supertechnology. We praise the success of Prospectus III for goals
never before attempted at UNC-Great. We recognize our roles as
alumni of this institution and pledge our loyalty, gifts, and ser-
vice. Furthermore, we encourage future classes to follow these
fundamentals and to seize with sincere and strong conviction
every opportunity to restore and preserve tradition. Freedom
gives birth to opportunities for greatness. We are the people of
UNC-Great!

1983 COMMENCEMENT ADDRESS
Kendra Leigh Smith
"Members of the Class of 1983, faculty, parents, honored guests, and friends of the University . . .
So often is the case that people will come to a university hoping that in the future their education will help them to earn
more money, receive further promotions in their jobs, or to guarantee that much-desired security.
But the true value we gain at a university is the freedoms that a liberal arts education provides us: the freedom that opens
our minds to be selective yet objective to new ideas. The freedom that delivers us from the fear of the unknown. The
freedom that gives us insight — what we hope will be foresight. The freedom that helps give us the drive and determination
to be who we are and who we want to be.
President Franklin D. Roosevelt said that there are four essential human freedoms: the freedom of speech and expression,
the freedom of worship, the freedom from want, and the freedom from fear. And during our studies here at UNC-G we have
learned the true meanings of these freedoms.
The first freedom, the freedom of speech and expression, is the right to be heard and to hear from others. We can be
proud that we allow a broad spectrum of opinion to be heard here at UNC-G rather than refusing to listen to speakers with
whom we may disagree. We have avoided invoking a ban such as the recent heckler's vetos used at Berkeley and at the
University of Minnesota against U.N. Ambassador Jean Kirkpatrick and others.
The second freedom, freedom of worship, is the ability to choose who or what will provide answers to the unknown and
who or what will guide us in our lives. As we all know, in our nation today there are individuals, both political and religious,
who insist that they have all the answers, the only answers. Yet through our study of history and philosophy we have
learned of the danger that lies in only allowing one view. We have learned tolerance and respect for differing beliefs.
The third freedom, the freedom from want, means equal opportunities, economic safety, and the preservation of civil
liberties. About the time we become comfortable with our advances in equality and civil rights something happens to
reawaken us to reality. The recent racial problems surrounding the election of Chicago's new mayor Harold Washington
reminds us of the task ahead, the work we must do to sustain our gains and to push ahead in our fight for social justice.
The fourth and final freedom, the freedom from fear, is the right to security and peace. This is perhaps the greatest
challenge facing us as graduates, indeed, facing us as citizens of the world. We are assuming responsibility to work for world
peace.
Freedom of speech and expression. Freedom of worship. Freedom from want. Freedom from fear. These freedoms have
been instilled in us through our studies at UNC-G. We, as students, chose a liberal arts education because such an
experience develops our abilities and capacities to exercise such concepts.
Our success is determined in part by our professors, our mentors. Those who have helped us develop such freedoms also
chose to be a part of this educational process. In making this choice, they have opened our minds, as they will open the
minds of others, to the world of ideas. They are helping to contribute to the realization and preservation of our freedoms.
And we, as students, as parents, as friends, thank these individuals seated in the audience today.
So, what is the value of our liberal arts education? Is the answer found in our first job? No. The value of our liberal arts
education will far exceed that first job or that high salary or that big promotion. The value of our education is that we have
been exposed to the ideas and the freedoms that allow us to survive as people. They allow us to exercise such freedoms with
forsight and objectivity, to exercise such freedoms with the care and determination to succeed.
It is difficult to find the words to express all we have learned here at UNC-G but perhaps the thoughts can be found in
John F. Kennedy's words. He spoke to the citizens of America and to the citizens of the world. Those words still echo in this
coliseum today. ,„i .u j ■ i j
With a good conscience, our only sure reward,
with history, the final judge of our deeds,
let us go forth to lead that land we love,
asking His hlessing and His help, but knowing
that here on earth God's work must truly be
our own.'
Thank you."

consider to be great,
